Question

Organism must go through mitosis to build new tissues.

Part C
Based on your model, do you think frogs reproduce sexually or asexually? What are the benefits and drawbacks to this
form of reproduction?

Answer 1

Frogs reproduce sexually: they require sperm from a male and an egg from a female to produce offspring. This type of reproduction allows for greater genetic variation. But organisms that sexually reproduce need to reach sexual maturity before they can reproduce. They also use energy to find a mate.

Answer 2

Frogs reproducesexually and when organisisms reproduce sexually there are benefits which include:

produces genetic variation in the offspring.

the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage.

a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population.

A disadvantage is that sexual reproduction takes longer than asexual reproduction. A mate must be found, the egg must be fertilised by sperm, and then the offspring develop. The benefit of introducing genetic variation into the species , however, outweighs this disadvantage.
